Package: ferret-vis
Version: 7.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
I have installed `ferret-vis` on stretch, set several `FER_*` paths and ran the
program. The program runs and I can load a dataset. However, when I try to
plot something from the dataset, the program crashes:
```

```
As you can see, I have set $FER_DATA, $FER_PALETTE and $FER_FONTS (amongst
other variables). Indeed there is no problem with $FER_DATA and the file that
I try to load. However, the file `default.spk` (amongst other files typically
part of a Ferret installation) is missing from $FER_PALETTE. And then the
$FER_FONTS directory does contain `fondat.dat` but Ferret thinks otherwise.
Note that I run plain ferret (through `ferret_c`); so far I've never used
pyferret.
